Hi mocano,
You may want to try installing the latest driver that is provided by the original device manufacturer. For your PC, that is Realtek. Here is a link to their download site:
http://152.104.125.41/downloads/
Select "High Definition Audio Codecs", accept the agreement, and then download and install the driver for your OS.
I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Installing windows 7 and one other questions about boot camp

    I have a 20 inch iMac with Mac OS 10.5.7 and all updates. I am thinking about upgrading from vista on boot camp to Windows 7. I know what to do but i wanted to hear some personal experiences from other people. Also, a long tome ago, I tried to install Windows XP but realized half way through that I did not have a product key. It turns out I did not need one, but I tried to cancel the installation process and all I would get was "Press any key to restart" and I would be sent back to the beginnign of the installation. I was trapped in a loop. For future reference, how do u "escape" this loop? Thanks

    You 'escape' by not killing it. And most people have to redo their entire install to get things working properly.

  • HT1455 I tried to install windows 7 on my imac but the computer was not booting again what shall I do?

    I was installing windows 7 on my imac but the installation was not completed and now I cannot boot what shall I do?

    Provided you used BootCamp to do the installation, with your machine off, press and hold down the "Option" key while turning it on.  Hold the key down until you get the screen where you can select which OS to boot into.  Select OS X (you'll need to physically click the button here... tapping won't work if you have it enabled).  Once in OS X, go into System Preferences and Startup Disk.  This is where you set the default OS to boot into.  Change it to OS X.  Relaunch BootCamp Assistant to remove the failed installation of Windows.  You can try again if you wish.

  • Can I install Windows 7 with boot camp on my computer, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?

    I have a new Mac, but I want to install Windows 7 with boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
    On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?) Also, would USB 3.0 be ok, or would thunderbolt be a better option (hoping its USB)
    Thank you

    you will be fine and either are more than enough for even an SSD.
    NTFS of course.
    Might look thru Google to see if anyone has managed to boot Windows from Thunderbolt, I think someone managed after install and then made a restore image and placed on Tb storage device.

    Hi,
    You must uninstall 32 bit version before you can install 64 bit version. Your machine MUST run 64 bit Operating system. Please also consider this:

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
    Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
    Windows 8 is version  6.2.x
    Windows 8.1 is version  6.3.x
    If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.​1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
    Update to the latest drivers prior and post installation respectively for win 8/8.1 :

  • Is it possible to install windows xp on latest macbook pro

    I would like to install windows xp on one partition of my new macbook pro, because I still have an old windows xp installation cd. who knows if this works without problems considering that bootcamp manual indicates that windows 7 and higher is necessary.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2012 MacBook Pro only supports 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 That means that Windows XP is not supported on your computer by using Boot Camp.
    Instead of installing Windows XP in Boot Camp, install Windows 7 or Windows 8, or install Windows XP on an app like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, so you can run Windows and OS X at the same time. You won't have any performance problem with Windows XP

  • Boot Camp will not let me install Windows via external hard drive

    Hi,
    I'm having problems installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have the iso file on my external hard dirve and have went to Boot Camp but the following message comes up:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
    The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    At one point i just clicked OK and let Boot Camp install the selected tasks, which formated the disk, copied the Windows files and downloaded the Windows support software but another message came up:
    "Install this Windows support software after installing Windows"
    It then only gives me an option to Quit...
    I would like to add that i tried to install Windows a few days ago and everything was working well up until instead of clicking on "customize" to continue the installation i clicked on "upgrade" then it asked me to remove disk and reboot the computer, i did that and it didn't work. Luckily i got that sorted but wanted to try and install Windows again as it didn't end up getting it installed and this is what is happening now...
    Can someone suggest to me what might be wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    My other post has been deleted. I will reply to you on this post instead.
    I dragged down the Macintosh HD partition via the small triangle at the bottom right hand side of it. It now looks like this:
    Is it back to normal now? Can i install Windows now or do i need to do anything else?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Trying to Install Windows 7 Recovery Cds on a new HD

    HP Pavilion dv4-2165dx
    "No bootable device found -- insert cd and press any key"
    So my hard drive crashed on me, and I bought a new one from a 3rd party vender online and ordered recovery CDs for Windows 7 from HP.  I got three CDs total; 2 Windows 7 System Recovery DVDs (disk 1 & 2) and a CD labeled "Application and Driver Recovery CD".
    After installing the new HD I put the 1st Windows Recovery DVD in and had the computer boot from it.  After a couple minuets of a blank screen, the error message "No bootable device found -- insert cd and press any key" appeared.  I tried restarting the computer several times but just kept getting the same message.
    What is it that I am missing?  Am I suppose to do something with the HP Application and Driver Recovery CD first?
    Any help it greatly appreciated, Thanks.

    Hi:
    Just download them from here and copy them to a USB flash drive.

  • GX60 - Cannot install windows 7

    I just bought a GX60 3AE-216US. I don't want Windows 8 so i decided to install windows 7 on it. i have a boot-able USB drive but after the initial "install now" screen, it asks for drivers. I thought the USB drive would have all the required drivers but it does not. Where do I get the windows 7 drivers i need for this laptop?
    I am using Legacy boot since UEFI does not detect this bootable USB drive.

    Solved the problem. What end up happening was that there was a problem with the image I was working with, which is generating that signed error message. I used another windows 7 image and started loading random drivers to find out which driver was the correct one, and it loaded them even though some did not detect the raid 0 partition.
    I found the right driver by looking at some of the driver information that exists in the windows 8 install that came with the laptop. I narrowed down to either the hseries or SB7xxx folder. It turns out it was the hseries folder that had the right Raid 0 driver. At one point, the x64 win 7 actually needed to use the x32 driver, which was odd, but after a few more installs, my final install used the x64 driver.
    Note that i always had to use the USB port on the right side of the laptop, left side gives a problem where it does not detect any OS to install.
    Also note that if you have to swap USB drives to install the raid driver, it won't work and will say your partition cannot be installed because swapping USB makes the "C" drive letter unuseable and the installer has to install windows to C. The solution is to put the driver into the USB boot drive you're using to install windows 7.

  • Cannot Install windows 7 or Vista on HP DC5800 with VL Media

    Hello all,
    I have a fleet of HP DC5800 SFF PC's that have been running XP Pro for some time.  I successfully installed windows 7 on one of them, but none of the other PC's I have of this model will take the install.  After performing a clean install, the pc will reboot and then hang on the windows 7 logo during startup.  I've updated the bios to the latest version.  I've unplugged and disabled everything in the BIOS, cleared the BIOS, amongst a number of other things.  Is there a known issue with this model??  With Vista install, it goes through the install, then says something along the lines that I can't reboot the system to continue the install.  I also tried windows 8.1, which at the end of the install says that the installation file is corrupt.....

  • HT204048 Installing Windows 7 without Boot Camp?

    So I have decided to install Windows 7 on one of my 2 MiniMac Server's 1 Tb HD's, without using BootCamp on that same drive.
    Ho do I go about installing the needed drivers, without having installed Bootcamp?

    You can run Windows in a virtual machine, which saves having to reboot to Boot Camp. This allows you to access Mac OS and Windows from one boot.

  • Big trouble while installing windows 7 on Toshiba mini 305-310

    After upgrading my RAM from Gig to Gig, I decided to install windows 7 on my mini 305-310(black model). First, when I installed windows 7 ultimate (64 bit), everything was fine except screen resolution(my screen resolution stuck at 800 by 600 and I couldn't find the solution). After hopeless attempts, I decided to reinstall windows 7 hoping the screen resolution problem would be solved.
    When I re-install windows 7, so many problems emerged. My current problem is "hardware problems were detected" message. Right now, I run memory problem test but I don't know what I did wrong. If hardware problems were detected, that means my Gig ram would be a problem?
    I just finished memory test but I can't re-install windows 7 on it. The latest error message is 0x000000F4.
    Any help would be great since I spent two days without any success.
    My Gig ram is a Crucial brand.
    Thank you.
    Frustrating starter

    Thank you for your reply. Actually, my posting has some word problems. Actually, I upgraded 2 gig crucial RAM before I installed Windows 7. In two days, there was no problem after Windows 7 install except screen resolution problem. However, after 2 days, I got an error message("hardware problem"). so I replaced my original 1 gig ram and ever since there is no error message regarding "hardware issue".
    Right now, I try to find drivers for fixing my screen resolution issue but still there is no success. It would be great if anyone shed light on me to tell what kind of driver I should download and where I can find the driver.
    People asked me why I upgrade Windows 7 and they seem to think anyone who upgrades Windows 7 on a netbook is stupid. Well, I may have a stupid mistake for trying to replace XP but isn't it a natural way to have a curiosity for "new" one? My main computer is Mac desktop and I love it but for a personal research, I also need Windows.

  • Takes hours to install windows 8 on 5k Imac

    The first thing i did when i got my maxed out 5k retina Imac with 1 TB fusion drive is i installed windows 8.1 on it using bootcamp. That was 5 months ago. a few weeks back i was experiencing crashes and generally a very laggy windows so i decided to uninstall, unpartition and re-install windows all over again. Thats where i am having problems.
    After the system restarts and the windows installation begins, i notice that it lags as if it it loading when i am clicking the next button which it didnt before and it is extremelly slow when installing, i figured i would let it get it done, it took maybe 5-6 hours to finish installing everything. After the installation was complete windows was also extremely slow and laggy, basically just froze every 2-3 seconds or whenever i tried clicking to start up windows explorer or any other task i wanted to do.
    Although everything is working fine and running smoothly on my MAC side of the system.
    I have tried reinstalling OS x and trying again, i have also tried repairing my hard drives using disk utility but still got the same issue.

    Windows is installed on the HDD, not the SSD (bootcamp default). You can force Windows installation manually on the SSD, but it is a 120GB SSD. On my Macminis, with a DIY Fusion drive, I have a 256g/512g SSD (depending the Mini usage) and a 1TB HDD, and I do not re-install Windows since I have put it on the SSD side.
    If you use Yosemite, it uses a CS volume, which is a combination of an SSD and HDD. The Fusion implementation moves blocks around based on frequency of access and usage. Yosemite can handle the IO overhead on a fragmented drive, but Windows cannot. My suggestion is to
    1. Back up OSX using Time Machine - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    2. Boot into Internet Recovery - OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support.
    3. Erase your internal drive and restore from the TM backup in Step 1 - OS X Yosemite: Recover your entire system.
    Please be aware that TM does not backup Bootcamp partitions. Once Windows is installed, do not remove it. If you must, run the same steps again. It is unfortunate that these types of performance issues are not documented any where for the user to take corrective action.

  • No bootable drive after installing windows successfully

    I am trying to install Windows XP/Vista 32 Bit On Intel Mac Notebook through BootCamp.But after installing windows successfully,when it reboot?resatrt,It gives me error message that NO bootable Drive ,Press any to key to continue.......
    I have Downloaded Windows XP/Vista 32 Bit ISO format and burned it on my DVD through Disk utility.I can install windows successfully but when it restarted then it gives that message.However I am able to locate windows hard drive after holding the Option Key and when I choose the windows HDD (BootCamp),It gives me same error.
    I started the installation in osx using boot camp, and the windows was completely installed, even the boot camp driver for windows was installed and there are options to restart into either windows or mac osx.
    But when I restart the machine and choose to go into windows, it just can not boot, saying no bootable device. If I insert the installation disc into the drive, then I restart and go to windows, it can boot successfully.
    Please Help.
    Much appriciated.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use BootCamp. There's a BootCamp Support Community where everybody uses BootCamp. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
